As I passed the nursery last night on the way home it is pouring rain - so I didn't stop and get any mulch...

a quarter mile past the nursery it stopped raining. By the time I got home it was sunny and almost dry... ... ... wasted oppurtunity. But I did load the old burning barrel into the wheelbarrow and cart it off to the dump pile - and got some other non gardening chores done... so the evening wasn't wasted.

Did I mention something nipped off my three witch hazel plants? I am really ticked off about that. They didn't even EAT them - the stems were lying beside the stumps.
